Olympus Portable XRF Alloy Analyzer DELTA Classic for Lead Paint Layer Measurement

DELTA portable XRF analyzer for lead paint layer detection

The DELTA handheld XRF analyzer for lead-based paint detection can identify the lead (Pb) element in seconds. These reliable, tube-based analyzers are lightweight and ergonomically designed for continuous all-day use. They start up quickly and maintain high-speed detection: no isotope decay. Moreover, their total cost of ownership is low. Before beginning structural repairs such as polishing, cutting, or painting, use the analyzer to screen for lead elements. After completion and site cleanup, use the analyzer to check the lead status in the work area. The DELTA Classic, model DC4000LP, is a handheld XRF analyzer specifically designed for industrial lead-based paint analysis. DELTA does not have HUD PCS; therefore, it is not suitable for HUD lead-based paint applications.

The Olympus portable XRF analyzer for detecting lead in paint layers can better identify lead content in multi-layer painted surfaces before repair, restoration, or painting. SmartScreen can quickly and accurately measure lead content in multi-layer coatings without the adverse effects of radioactive isotopes. The software-based proximity sensor allows for easy measurement of uneven surfaces. Due to the absence of a radioactive source, the analyzer avoids isotope velocity loss, high replacement costs, and regulatory restrictions post-9/11.

Olympus DELTA portable XRF analyzer detects lead paint on windows and dust swabs to screen for contaminants.

DELTA portable analyzer for rapid, accurate, and non-destructive testing of lead-based paints (LBP)

• Reduced the time and cost of inspecting multiple surfaces

• Accurate testing on-site, with data records traceable.

• Based on different application operation levels or time settings to determine results

• Prior to construction, demolition, repair, painting, and upon completion.

• Lead elements can be easily detected on floors, walls, doors, hinges, pipes, joints, window frames, and even in dust sweepers and filters.

The Olympus portable XRF analyzer has been selected multiple times by U.S. Customs, the FDA, the EPA, the DOE, international customs agencies, and certified independent testing companies for its ability to quickly and non-destructively detect regulated toxic metals, including lead (Pb), on-site. DELTA does not have HUD PCS; therefore, it is not suitable for lead-based coating applications on HUD.

Key Features

Olympus is well-versed in the analysis of lead paint layers.

Our high-precision analyzer significantly reduces detection time when analyzing lead content in various painted surfaces, enabling hundreds of additional tests per day and instilling confidence in the test personnel. These analyzers can detect lead content in paint layers anytime, anywhere, and report results within seconds: the lead content of the surface area, as well as positive or negative results based on preset values. The analyzer can be configured for "fixed time" or "set operation level completion condition." NIST standard samples are suitable for lead paint surface analysis using portable XRF analyzers. SmartScreen can quickly and accurately measure lead content in multi-layer paints without the adverse effects of radioactive isotopes.
